I love your site and have been using your basic lotion video for the past year as a base point for making my own face lotion with substituted oils(argan 60%, rosehip seed 30% and tanmaru 10%) that are best for my skin. After using the same recipe successfully multiple times, suddenly my lotion isn't thickening properly and separating a bit after sitting a while. Any guesses why? I would really appreciate your help. You have been my DIY guru since I started this awesome journey.

    Hi Marie. First let me say I love your videos and the information you provide. When I make my emulsion it gets creamy and seems to be stable but I notice that sometimes there are small white bits that are there. The lotion is still creamy but the bits. Does this mean my emulsion didn't work?

    Hi Marie!!! Super excited for the live streaming! I’ve been following you since a year now and just wanted to say THANK YOU! My question is simple: why when making less the 100 gram batch and mixing with a coffee frothier, why the lotion gets too frothy and then when it seems it’s emulsified hours later it’s separating and a texture like a mouse? This doesn’t happen to me when I use the inmersión blender .. thank you!

    Hi Marie, I like the consistency of this lotion, that’s why I’d like to stick to just oils and not butters, but I tried using 5g Hempseed oil and 5g Rosehip seed oil instead of 10g of Fractionated coconut oil. But, it didn’t thicken up and kind of didn’t blend well. Where did I go wrong? Please help! Thank you

    Hi Marie - been following you for over a year now and I love your videos so much! I've learned so much and made so many beautiful and creative formulations...but I'd like to get more confident in developing my own creations from scratch. When considering the percentage of an emulsifier to use; what numbers are variables in the equation? For example, does a larger oil phase require a higher percentage of emulsifier? Or perhaps lower? I always get tripped up on this... Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us. Your channel is absolutely delightful and so well-done. Love the editing and creativity, and format. Also, side note - I think my 15-year-old might have a bit of a crush on you. ;)

    I made two lotions so far (and a lot of body wash!) and I have a question about cool down.
    My lotions thickened up much faster than yours. Same exact recipe, same technique, only they were very think after 60 seconds of immersion blending. Cool enough for my cool-down ingredients 2-3 minutes later.
    Now, it was autumn/winter, and my kitchen was only heated to 60-65°F (15-18C ... I'm part polar bear, and my kitchen is the coldest part of my house). Could the air temperature have affected things that much?
    I should try making more lotion this summer, but I don't use lotion in the summer. Too hot!

It’s basically a shower gel with honey in it. The SODIUM RICE AMPHOACETATE looks to be a very mild surfactant made from rice.

      The citric acid in the honey wash is more than likely for lowering the final PH of the product. Fruit blend enzymes or acids would make a good alternative to citric acid for chemical exfoliation.

    I tried this recipe but added Beeswax and zinc oxide to make it a sunscreen, however after the immersion blending, i left it for a while to cool, and added the Liquid GP. After which when i use the spatula to stir, it separated into chunks of cream and water. How come this can happen? Is it because i should not even stir when it is cooling? thanks!

      Please read this re: DIY sunscreen: www.humblebeeandme.com/why-homemade-sunscreen-is-never-a-good-idea/
      If you replaced the emulsifying wax with beeswax that would explain the separation. Stirring while cooling is fine :)

    • @HumblebeeAndMe
      @HumblebeeAndMe  Před 2 lety

      I'm afraid I don't have any experience with that emulsifier, so I can't offer much advice. From reading about it I'd think it should work. It is oil soluble. I would recommend searching out one of the emulsifying waxes I recommend and trying again-I can offer more help with those if required, and you can gain some confidence. You can always come back to the dub base once you have more experience :)

      Look at the manufacture's recommended usage. It suggests .6-1% so since add that into the formula and subtract from the water amount so your percentage comes out to 100%. If that does not make sense, tune into her live session and she will help you clarify. She is so good at explaining EVERYTHING!

      It can work, but you'll want to be sure the pH is fairly acidic (~5) to give it a boost. It's not as good of a preservative as what I've used when used alone, but I have had success with it. Learn more & compare at humblebeeandme.com/preservatives/ :) Happy making!

      Hi! I’m a formulation chemist. This is a good broad spectrum preservative effective at broad pH. In regards to how long your lotion will last, there is a lot more to consider. Lotioncrafter says it very well: Good production hygiene as well as the use of raw materials with low microorganism levels, as a result of correct raw material control, are vital prerequisites for the production of finished products.
      To that I’d like to add that the pH has a great impact as well. So, my conclusion is that many aspects affect the longevity, not just the choice of preservative.
      I do a lot of DIY at home and I recommend to make small batches that last maximum of half a year just to be on the safe side, that’s what I do 😊

    I was wondering if you could answer a question about this recipe. I have been reading and researching for a while now on the most basic of lotion recipes and want to make this with the substitution of water for breastmilk for my baby. Is there any you would have any information on whether or not this would even work or if that would effect the perentage of any other ingredient? BM is around 90% water, but the fat content of around 4% worries me. Also, I know you cannot preserve breastmilk to make it shelf stable and this would not last very long. All BM lotion recipes I can find are with beeswax and no emulsifier nor preservative. TIA!

      Hi! I don't really know. I think it could work, but it could curdle-it's impossible to say without trying it. And yes, the shelf stability of it is unlikely to be great, you'd want to use it in a day or two.
